THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY JULY 21, 18G9. LITERATURE. X X V I X W OF N E W BOOKS. Jaw. of Jr.rri.nsoN Davis, with a Skciif.t Ilis- TOKY r Til K NolTTIlKKN CONKEDKIIACY. 5y K. A. Pollard. Issued ly subscription by tho Nationnl ruMisking Company. ITjc titlo of tbis work excites expectations irhitk arc scarcely fulfilled in tko porusal. Not only is Mr. Pollard's, information far nmro limited than lio would kavo us belie vo, but ko is very evidently not tko person to write suck ft work ns it ought to bo written. His position ns n journalist in Richmond nn doiibtedly fcnvo him opportunities for gaining informal ion on various points that were not enjoyed by everyone, but tko important mys teries of tke Jeff. Davis Government wero apparently ns carefully hidden from him ns from other outsiders. As far as its revela tions go, therefore, Mr. Pollard's work is of little value, nud tko alue that it has is seriously dimin ished by tke vindictive strain in which it is written, nnd by tke well-known personal dislike of the nutkor for tke subject of kis narrative. Throughout the work is breathed an intense ndmiratiou for tho "lost cause," and an equally iutenso hatred for Jefferson Davis, upon whose shoulders is laid tho whole blnme for the failure of tke Confederate arms. Tke npparent fairness of the introductory nketch of Davis only makes tko vindictive bitterness of tko latter portions more appa rent; nnd yet, on examination, it will bo found that tke eulogistic tone adopted in tko '.nrly pnrt of tho narrative is mainly when comparing Davis with his Northern compeers in Congress. Mr. Pollard's stylo is tkat of a fire-eating Southern journalist, and it is con sequently distinguished by a good many big words and a good deal of swagger nnd bounce. The real value of the work is in tko fact tkat it gives us a criticism of tko Jell". Davis Government from a Southern stand point. It is a contribution to tho history of the war yet to be written, nnd it is worth neither more nor less than tho majority of the works that have been hitherto written on the subject of the great struggle. Thk Subjection of Women. ly John Stuart Mill. Received from D. Askmead. Mr. Mill is one of tko few writers on tko subject of women's rigkts and wrongs who is worth perusing, or who has nny ideas on tho bubject that commend themselves to impar tial thinkers of either sex as worthy of consi deration. There is no doubt that tho women's rights movement is looked upon ns u huge burlesque by the majority of women, even moro than by men. Tho absurd and inco herent arguments and vituperations of most of its champions, their illogical nnd impracti cal ideas, and their aping of tho worst of masculine manners, has not only brought their cause into ridicule, but it has lost them tko support of many men who most warmly sympathize with tho real disabilities under which women labor. It is certain that women aro placed at a disadvan tage in many particulars where they ought to be the equals of men: their wages nre, as n rule, disgracefully low, nud respectable, work Lard to obtain. In many, if not all of tho United States, not to mention England and the rest of Europe, the laws with regard to women, and especially married women, hold ing property nre not equitable, nnd ought to le reformed. It is certain, however, that tho majority of women do not feel their subjec tion, they do not understand that they are en slaved; nnd so long as they nre obtuse on this point, Annn Dickinson may declaim, Miss Susan Anthony may expostulate, nud John btunrt Mill reason without producing nny very great effect towards placing men and women on an equality in all the relations of life. The great fault of tho work under con sideration is tkat Mr. Mill kas allowed him self too often to fall into tko looso, vitupera tive style tkat is so common wkeu discussing tkis subject. Tho work is worth reading, however, as an exposition of tke rights of women by the ablest champion of tho sex that Las taken up arms for them. From Turner Brothers Sc Co. we have received "Tko Adventures of Thilip" and "A Shabby Genteel Story," by W. M. Thackeray. These two stones, bound in one volume, complete tho "Household Edition" of Thackeray's works as originally announced by Fields, Osgood & Co. Reading Thackeray is something like eating olives an acquired taste with a great many persons; and if his popularity has not been as grout as that of some of his contemporaries, it is likely to bo moro lasting. A complete nnd low-priced edition of his works has long been called for ly his admirers, but the call has never been replied to until Fields, Osgood & Co. under took the publication of this attractive edition, which they announce will now bo extended to include all of Thackeray's known writings. "Tho Shabby Genteel Story" is an unfinished work of Thackeray's, and ns several of its characters aro introduced in "Tho Adven tures of Thilip," tho publishers havo judi ciously prefixed it to that novel in tho volume before us. From J. R. Lippincott t Co. wo have re ceived "Norah Brady's Vow" and "Mona tho Vestal," by Mrs. Anna II. Dorsey. Tho first of these is an interesting story of Irish life and character of tho present day, nud tho second is a successful attempt to givo a view of the ancient Irish civilization at tho time of tho introduction of Christianity. Tho story is itself entertaining, nnd besides its valuo m a work of fiction, it is interesting ns giving an illustration of tho ancient Irish customs, religious nnd civil. From Turner Brothers & Co. wo have re ceived "Tho Hollands," by Virginia F. Town send. Published by Loring, Boston. This interesting story originally appeared as a serial in Arthur's Home Mifnine, where it excited much attention. Those who perused it while going through the pages of the magazine will doubtless be glad to possess it for a second reading in its completed form. E, U. EuUvt & Cv. wna ivj "An Awcri. can Woman in Europe," by Mrs. S. R. Urbino. This is a lively journal of experiences during a sojourn of two years and a half in Germany, Franco, and Switzerland. Mrs. Urbino does not tell anything very' new about European sights and scenes, but her journal is written in a plcaRant vein, and it contains much every, day information that will bo appreciated by the vast majority of travellers. From Claxton, Remsen &, HatTolfinger wo havo received a work on "Rhetoric," by Rev. E. O. Haven, D. D., LL. D., President of the University of Michigan. This is a toxt book for schools and colleges, which has re sulted from the author's own experiences as a teacher. It is intended to give tho student a perspicacious presentation of the theory of rhetoric, with illustrations nnd directions how to profit by it. The work appears to bo well adapted for the purpose intended. "Famous Loudon Merchants," by II. R. Fox Bourne, is a series of sketches for boy readers of thirteen famous London merchants, from Richard Whittington to Goorgo Pea body. From T. ElKvood Zell, Xos. 17 nnd l!t South Sixth street, we havo received Nos. lit nnd :; of "Zell's Popular Encyclopedia;" which is brought down to tho title "Bee." From Jenkins Sc Atkinson, Wilmington, Del., we have received a copy of tho "Wil mington City Directory-' for !(;)-70. THE riU.ME AM) THE ACTRLnS. A Itnninntle Tnlp of ('niirthl. I'arin (July 1) Cvrrrxpowletu-p Court Journal, The announcement of the approaching recog nition by the Imperial family of Austria of the niarriajrc of Duke Louis of Havana with the licaulitul M ile Mendel, the actress, of Auijs bourir, has tiivcn a new aim to the theatrical ambition of the ladies of the Paris boards. The vii-it about to bo made by the Kmpress Eliza beth to the beautiful castle of Lake ftahuber, where the newly-married couple reside, has become the talk of every foyvr d'arlixifs in Europe. They p;iy in the roulissm here that "her Austrian Majesty was the great promoter of the niarriajrc, tho Ptory connected with her brother's love and eourtchip being romantic enough to excite the strongest interest in her kind and womanly heart, and making it forgetful of all distinction of rank where an equal chare of love and deli cacy had been displayed by both the lovers. Mad'lle Mendel, who had Preserved her reputa tion unsullied amid all the perils and tempta tions of a theatrical life, is considered as the most lovely woman in (ieruiany.her beauty being of the true (icrman type, of the peculiar fair ness beheld in no other country- golden hair in soft silky masses, without the" smallest tinge of nuliurn pure gold unburnishtd; a complexion delicate as the inner petals of the Bemral rose pale pink, scarcely ever seen iu nature aud al most impossible to produce by artificial means; lips of the deepest carnation; teeth small and exquisitely white, and eyebrow of the darkest brown, with eyes of the deepest blue. All this made such an" impression on the heart of Duke Louis, that from the moment he first beheld her at the Munich Theatre he vowed himself to the worship of this one idol. But Mad'lle Mendel was valiant in defense of her reputation, and aware of the responsibility incurred by the possession of great talent, she resisted every overture, even that of marriage, on the part of the Duke, well knowing that it was out of kis power to contract any alliance of the kind, as much was expected of him by his family. At that time Mad'lle Mendel was in the habit of wearing a velvet collar with a clasp ornamented by a single pearl of great value, which had been presented to her by the King of Saxony, and in order to quell all hope of success in the bosom of her royal admirer. Mie declared to him one day that she had made a vow to bestow her "heart and hand on him alone who could match this single pearl with as nianj- others as would form the whole necklace. The declaration was made laughingly, for the fair creature knew well enough the Duke, living fully up to his inconiu, which was but mediocre for his rauk, could never accomplish this herculean task, and she laughed more merrily still when she beheld the disconsolate expression of his countenance at the announcement she had made. Hut soon atterwards she heard that the Duke has sold his horses and broken up his establishment ijoiic to live iu the strii'icst retirement in a small cot tage belonging to his brother's park. That very nijrht, when about to place the vel vet band upon her neck, she found, to her great surprise, that a second pearl had been added to the clasp. .She knew well enough whence It came, and smiled sadlv at the loss of labor she felt sure that Duke Louis was incurring for love's sake. By degrees the velvet band became covered with pearls, all of them as line as tho one bestowed by the King of Saxony, until one evening great was the rumor in Augsburg. The fair Mendel had been robbed; while on tho stage, divested of all ornament, in the prison eeciie as "Bettina von Armstedt," her dressing room had been entered, and the velvet collar with its row of priceless pearls had disappeared from tho toilet-table. The event was no terrible, her nerves so shaken, that in spite of the assurance of the Chief l'oliee Magistrate, who happened to be Iu the theatre at the moment, that he was sure to find the thief in a very short time, for ho had the clue already, poor BMad'lle Mendel was so overcome bv i;rief 7 . ... . . c . 1...- '.-.. 1.. V Iliut ner memory iiuiuii nut eiunciv, so unit on returning to the stajre not a word could she re member of her part! The audience waited for some time In astonishment at the silence main tained by tke actress; the actress gazed at the audience in piteous embarrassment, until, iy a sudden inspiration, and almost mechanically in deed, she remembered that she had tho rehear sal copy of the play in the pocket of her apron. She drew it lorth without hesitation, and began to read from it with the greatest self-possession imaginable. At lirst the audience knew not whether to laugh or be angry, but presently memory, pathos, forgetf ulness of ail but her'nrt.had relumed to Mad'lle Mendel, and in the utterance of one of the most impas sioned sentiments of her speech she Hung the rehearsal copy into the orchestra, and went oil with her part without pause or hesitatio n. The applause of the audience was so tremendous that one of the witncssc to the scene has told us that the great monster chandelier in the cen tre of the roof swung to and fro with tho vibra tion. But on her return to her dres.-ing-rooiu the excitement proved too much, and sho faint 1 away. On coming back to consciousness it was to Hi id Duke Louis at her feet, and the head eommissairc standing by her side, bidding her take courage, for the pearls had been found. ''Where are they '(" exclaimed she. "Are yo i sure that none "are missing? Have none been stolen i" Duke Louis then clasped round her neck the string of pearls, complete at last, u longer sewn on to the velvet band, but strau ' with symmetry nnd fastened with a diamond clasp. What more could be done by tli'i devoted lover? He had spared neither pains lmr sacrifice to attain his end, and M ul'lle Meiidi 1 consented to become his wife. Tho Empress of Austria appears to have been much moved by the story, and suggested the nomination of the bride elect to tho title of Baroness do Wallersce, which thus equalized tho rank of the .?., and enabled thein to mnrrv without ililliculty. They live tho most retired life possible in their little chateau on Lake Stahnberg, where the Empress of Austria Is about to visit them. They say that the Duchess Louis of Buvuria never puts off night or day the necklace uf pearls, the clasp of w hich she has Lad riveted to her neck, nnd that in consequence of this peculiarity sho Is known all through the country round by tho namo of the Fairy I'erliua, from iho vld Uvriiuu talc t)I Ike Single Pearl, Tlie TlonfliH of the iMiiwlpil. INSPECTION OF THE HALIZE DIUSDOINO OF TUB BAND HA KS. The C'nnmber of Commerce of New Orleans recently sent a deputation to the Bali.o to nee which one of the passes could best serve the uses of commerce. The following account of the nflair is taken from the New Orleans "The vexed question as to which of the passes Into which the river separates at its mouth has the deepest water, is one about which the com mercial public of this city has been for sonic time divided. Southwest l'uss, aB every one knows, is the channel that has been, for many years past, used by pilots and tow-boat companies, and for which their preference is still strongly shown. On the othcrhand. Puss -a 1 Outre, as being forty miles shorter for the main highway of commerce" and as aflordiug still greater advan tage In the way of easterly winds, was the one selected by the I'nilcd States (iovernmont for lnprov( incut. To clear out this pass and deepen it lroni twelve to eighteen feel has been tho work of the Kssayonus for some months past, and the prosecution of this work it was con tended had been successful. It was to verify these statements, and ascertain whether the water was really deepened or had been merely rendered so momentarily by wind aud tide, or by dillereiice of mcasuri'ine'it, that the deputa tion was sent. "To assist them in settling this question, Col lector (.'a-ey on Wednesday tendered to these bodies and representatives of the press the use of the revenue culler Wilderness, to examine iuto the matter themselves. "The Wilderness, having cast off from the wharl at ti liO o'clock on Thursday morning, glided down the river, stopping momentarily at quarantine and at the fort upon the western tide. "tin arriving at the Southwest Pass soundings were taken. "These soundings showed fourteen feet for their shoalct depth, two throws for liltcen. one for l.V.j, and so on. This much having been ascertained, and a glimpse of the waste of wa ters outside of the bur having been taken, Cap tain Freeman cast anchor. "At .V.j o'clock next morning the soundings of the nijiht previous were repeated, and proved to be substantially the same as when lirst taken. The shoalest water found was twelve feet, but this, as it was contended and shown, was not iu the channel of the river. The soundings of the morning altogether were considered no test, as the Wildiierncss hugged very closely the shore at the time they were made. "The cutter now passed out six miles beyond land, until the muddy current appeared as a thin stratum upon the waters of the (iulf, until tho deep green of the latter could bo seen through the yellow stratum above. "Steaming on in this way.thc distant observa tory was seen, which marked what was once Bal'ie, and what was the most nourishing town that ever sprung up about the mouth of the river. Balize dated its settlement from the dis covery of the mouth of the river by the Spa niards, and its first inhabitants doubtless dream ed that It was destined to become the great city of the Mississippi Valley. The houses were built on piles. The place was surrounded by a levee, with a street planted with trees, with an esplanade a mile long, and had its church, school-house, hotel, Salariel teacher and phy sician. The pilots w ere prosperous, and many of them owned slaves. The houses were well constructed, aud the place, for its sea breezes and bathing, was no inconsiderable resort iu summer. What caused its destruction was a change in the depth of Northeast I'ass, which event occurred a little before the war. Tho entrance to the river commenced to grow moro and more shoal with each year, until at the present time, as was ascertained a week ago by actual experiment, there is not a depth of eight feet. "Commerce having no longer any use for Northeast Pass, and preferring the Southeast l'ass, the pilots, of course, hail to go where they could find employment. The town soon became completely abandoned. At. the presen t time there is not a single one of its former in habitants remaining. The hotel, two or three stories high, a large sail loft, and the observa tory nre left standing, hut beyond this there is not" a single vestige of the beautiful town that formerly existed there. Even the levees which surrounded the place have becu washed away and have disappeared, and what was almost "a city, as now seen, differs but little from the marsh upon which the buildings had been con structed. "The first attempt to deepen the passes w as made in IfviS bv Captain Taleott. who then ob tained nn appropriation of $30,000 for this pur pose, and whose failure at Northeast l'ass re sulted in the ruin to the Bali.o as above de scribed. The plan then adopted was that of scooping up the mud at the bottom of the river until the dreuge-boat was filled, and of then dumping the mud outside of tho channel. It hardly need be said that this attempt proved an absolute failure. The contract was next taken hold of bv Craig it Co., and bv Stark A; Co who, with an appropriation of $300,000, agreed to secure a channel twenty feet deep aud three hundred feet wide. This plan was to drive piling upon either side of what was destined to be the channel, and through the jetties thus made to force the current. They actually proceeded so far In this plan as to drive a mile of piles. Tho at tempt was again abandoned, iu consequence of the fact that the first storm loosened the piles, nnd they were lloated away. This was in 1SS."I. In lS5S the towboat company sub-contracted for the work, and succeeded so far as to make for a ' vear aehanneljof a depth of nearly eighteen feet. "This was the most successful attempt ever hitherto made. Their plan was to drag an im mense barrow up and dow n the bar, and iu this way, and with the use of a scraper, to loosen the clods or mud lumps. In 1807 the contract was I taken hold of by Mr. 'Wiggins, who accomplished nothing, not even the drawing of j,7"i,000. The Essayous was now built at the Atlantic Works, I at Boston, at a cost of $'i!i.1.(K)0, under the appro- priations of 75.00O, ii2"i0,000, and since last i September has been at work at thel'assal'Outre bar. "When the Essayons begau work in February (for so many accidents occurred previously that nothing iip'to that month was accomplished), the crest ofjthe bar was then fourteen feet below the water. The bar, which slopes down to a depth of eighteen feet below the water upon either side, extends a mile and a quarter in length: and. as the channel is to be tivo hundred and iilty feet wide, the amount of the work since accomplished may bo readily arrived at when to these data it is added that on the 1 StU of June there was at the shoalest depth seven teen leet and eight inches of water. "In March the Essayons broke a screw, and had to leave to go to the city to repair her screw. The bar was tltieen feet when she left; when she returned a month after, the depth had decreased a foot find a bait. This fact shows that to keep the channel open the work must be constantly kept up." The Learned IMarliMiiiili. The Learned Blacksmith and American phi lanthropist has for several years occupied tho position of consul at Birmingham on a salary of 4-l.M'O, out of which he has had to pay oilleo rent and clerk's hire, leaving him about $500 for his own use. His removal must certainly havo been made by mistake, aud when tho President conies to learn of his great charities, virtues, uml services to tho Union cause during the war willi his able pen, we cannot doubt that ho will hasten to reinstate him.
